Thank You for People that are “Just Too Cool”.
I had a recent revelation about those folks you meet who never seem to have anything to say to folks that are not quite as cool as they like to think THEY are.
Some of them are not quite what I thought they were.
I have had to adjust my perspective on the “cool” folks.
I have had to contend with the judgmental attitude that I keep denying I have, once again. (This probably originated in high school.)
Here’s some things I recently noticed that has altered my image of “Just Too Cool” People.
Some of them are just…
shy or intimidated
nervous about something I can’t know
feel awkward about the social setting
are writing beautiful poetry in their head
are afraid some one will notice they have one ear lower than the other
are from out of town
are hiding alcoholism or wrestling with an over buzz
obsessing on a bad haircut
preoccupied with someone they have a crush on
feel self conscious about what to do with their hands
are insecure about their popularity
are observers of the human condition and just don’t know how to participate
focused on scoping out the joint for a future robbery
think maybe I am acting just too cool to talk to
